EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Virgin of Montserrat" in Catalonia, Spain. Believed to have been carved by St Luke himself, this Black Madonna statue resides within the Benedictine Abbey of Montserrat. Crafted during the late 12th century, this Romanesque wooden sculpture has gained a unique color on her face and hands over time due to varnish darkening. The image beautifully captures the essence of spirituality and devotion as a mother tenderly holds her baby boy in her lap. The Virgin Mary's sacred presence emanates through her serene expression and gentle touch, symbolizing the profound bond between mother and child. Visiting this revered shrine has become a significant pilgrimage for many believers seeking solace and spiritual connection. The monastery's tranquil surroundings provide an ideal setting for contemplation and reflection. This artwork represents not only religious significance but also cultural heritage, as it is deeply rooted in Catalan history.
